Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge’s job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what “makes or breaks” the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world’s leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.

Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world’s leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.

Good Design, Cheap componentsThe faucet is elegant and well-designed. It was easy to install but needed extra-thickness support. Because it is very tall, installing it in the sheetmetal of the sink alone made it very wobbly. The "Faucet Extender" included is useless for this purpose. I made a 1" thick plate of HDPE plastic instead that works very well.
The faucet started leaking at the handle 3 months after installation. A call to customer service was well-received and resulted in them shipping a new cartridge immediately. I am afraid that the cartridge is made of cheap materials and will not last long.
Overall, I am disappointed in the quality. Saving costs will result in a relatively short lifetime.

In compatible with mulihole sinksThis product is unsuitable for any retro fit project that has more than one hole in the sink/counter since there is no way to reconfigure this faucet or use cover plates.
